Our Beliefs
And why we believe them!
We have travelled extensively and have seen that people
the world over increasingly see Christianity as a
religion that sponsors war, opposes regimes, exploits the
poor and contributes to the plundering of the planet's natural
resources; all for greedy gain. Hence, the word "Christian" has a bad connotation for so many people today.
Today's "Evangelical Christians" created this misconception with their
political
agendas, condescending
attitudes, big mouth
preaching, circus like gatherings, lavish
lifestyles, and efforts
to export these things to the rest of the world, all of which are in
stark
contrast to what Jesus taught.
We do not
share their beliefs,
teachings or practices, which turn more people away
from God rather than to Him.
We
can, however, relate to the
Catholics in many ways, and applaud Mother Teresa and many
others like her for their unselfish,
sacrificial labors of love. These dear souls practice the essence of true
religion.
We also relate to the universal values of
peace, harmony and family found in eastern religions, things lacking in our world today.
In conclusion, we believe that most
of today's problems would be solved if we simply started
"treating others the way we want to be treated ourselves"
like Jesus said. This
is, and has been, the main theme
of our writings and
productions for
these past 20 years.
Thank
you for your love, prayers, and support.
